BoA’s second album, No. 1 (2002), was named among the best-selling records of the year in Korea by the Recording Industry Association of Korea with more than 500,000 copies sold. The album includes one of her most popular songs, “No. 1”.
The 33-year old singer is one of the first Korean performers whose fame expanded to Japan as her Japanese debut album Listen to My Heart (2002) debuted at number one on the country's Oricon Chart in that year. (wir/wng)
